takeovers
Hostile business grabs
Takeovers is the plural of takeover—an act of assuming control over something.
In business, a takeover is acquiring a company, often against its will: hostile takeovers, corporate raiders.
In politics or military contexts, a takeover seizes power: a military takeover, the takeover of the government.
The word implies displacement of previous control.
